You know what? How about I put you on the defensive for once, since you obviously love to try to just shift what we're saying in attempt to denounce us rather than coming up with sources yourself. Show me sources that explain that socialism means "anything the government does", and that socialist movements actually adopted this position. Also, while we're at it, yes, they do get their wealth instantaneously, because it's often inherited, so it's not from their labour or effort as you're trying to insinuate.

government definition: the governing body of a nation, state, or community.

socialism definition: a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

 

can you give me anything other government used to regulate on a society wide basis?

did their parents just wave a magic wand and pull the money out of the aether? or did they work for it and pass it down to their descendants?

shouldn't it be obvious that i'm not talking about inheritance? 

are you now advocating for the state to take away the money from rich people when they die? i'm not saying you are implying this i'm just curious and lets not say state lets say "community" because that's different somehow

Isn't it funny that the billions are inherited and yet their average age is 64... or that a lot of the billionaires from USA and China are new guys that made it from almost 0?
